Working While Collecting Social Security Benefits

What Will My Net Social Security Benefit Be?

If you are collecting Social Security benefits and working, your earnings will reduce your Social Security benefit. If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, your benefits will be reduced $1 for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. In the year you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced $1 for every $3 you earn above a different annual limit, but only until the month you reach full retirement age.

You can use this calculator to help determine the effect on your Social Security income from working before reaching your full retirement age.
